I reviewed Cairn for @ign.com. It's a remarkable game about a mountain that has never been summited, and Aava, a remarkable woman determined to make it to the top, no matter the cost, and the kind of person she has to be to make the ascent. The climb is all there is.
Cairn Review - IGN
A mountain climbing game that's both challenging and rewarding.

Will is pound for pound one of the best writers in this business. He’s witty, always has a relatable anecdote to connect readers to what he’s writing about, and can whup me in Guilty Gear Strive, which is no small feat
Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Wait no one told me Battler from Umineko is in Trails
Beyond the Horizon is my favorite of the Calvard games. Aaron is still probably my favorite character from the series, and you can't convince me that he isn't a fill in for the players. Shit gets crazy in this new game

Made top 8 again. Still far off from my goal of getting top 4, but if I can consistently get top 8 I’ll be feeling pretty good!

It's hard to ask for writing work when so many people are losing their gigs left and right.
I have a FT thing outside of game, so prioritize those who don't.
With that said, I'd like to do more than I did last year.
If you need game reviews, previews, features, tech stuff, etc. - I'm available

This was a labor of love that I worked on the last week or so. It’s a general guide on how to get good at 2D fighters. I hope this reaches people that are into them, but maybe don’t have a gameplan that sets them up for success. youtu.be/E6XeqPrnNzg?...

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be resuming my daily news writer role at Insider Gaming.
So, needless to say, I am open for game journalism work. If you’re looking for a reviewer, previewer, news and/or guide writer, as well as mock reviews, please reach out. Thank you.

Gonna do a first playthrough of Repo over on the twitch channel. I am terrible with these types of games, so fingers crossed that I don't wake up the whole house. twitch.tv/jurassicrabbit and twitch.tv/phillmreich for @phillmreich.bsky.social's perspective.

My kid has started saying bless you when I sneeze while still continuing to zoom around the room, and I don’t know why I think this is the cutest thing ever or why I felt the need to share it on Bluesky, but I do and I did.

2025 was a weird year for me. I had some of the worst illnesses of my life, my relationship with my sister completely shattered, and my mental health took some pretty big hits.
Gaming and my work were my comfort zones, and they were great places to be in 2025.

Gonna be honest, I kinda thought we were past the whole “naive, fresh out of the vault” thing with Lucy in Fallout. I thought that was an arc that ran its course

I think I forgot to share this here, but I reviewed @rd.7thbe.at Rhythm Doctor for @ign.com. It was the first review on Opencritic and one of only two on the site. The other one is not in English.
It might be my favorite game this year. I cannot recommend it enough. You should buy it.
